Every country has rich people. But only a few places have achieved a vibrant and stable middle class. And in the history of the world, none has been more vibrant and more stable than the American middle class.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A strong, educated middle class is what made America the greatest country in the world.
The middle class creates us rich people, not the other way around.
The United States is a country where practically everybody considers himself middle class.
There are rich people everywhere, and yet they don't contribute to the growth of their countries.
In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4,000, but health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled. Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before.
Remember, America's greatness is based on creating wealth like the rest of the world has never known, and then, making sure it's shared throughout a middle class and even the underprivileged.
The key to a vibrant middle class is an abundance of jobs that pay enough so that workers can provide for themselves and their families, enjoy leisure time, save for retirement and pay for their children's education so they can grow up and earn even more than their parents.
If the nation is rich but people are poor, the country cannot be strong, and society will be unstable.
Rich people in one country don't act the same as rich people in another country.
You can only choose between rich and poor. The middle class is gone.
